The Football Hangover: 11/12/07

Fantasy Fuck Yous: Anquan Boldin (65 yards and 0 TDs over the last 2 weeks)

Ok, I’m taking it back. A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila is a stupid show. BUT, that first episode when the all of the chicks were parading around in their little outfits…now that was quality TV. (What does this have to do with the Monday Football Hangover? Nothing.)

Merrill Hodge is full of shit. His power rankings after this week have the Steelers at number 1ahead of New England. What? I see what’s going on here; the league is such a runaway that in order to make it interesting somebody has to stir the pot. Hogwash. The Pats are the best team in the league. This isn’t even a debate. Remember when NFL Live was all about analysis, statistics and highlights? Damn it I miss Suzy Kolber and Ron Jaworski.

Marshawn Lynch is a beast. With Adrian Peterson going down with an injury I think Lynch has a legitimate chance to get the offensive rookie of the year. Despite having only one 100-yard game, Lynch is on pace to rush for over 1,300 yards and 11 TDs. And that’s behind a depleted offensive line and a quarterback who played at Tulane. It's great to see Lynch being the NFL player we all thought he'd be.

Is there going to be a gayer movie this holiday season than 'Enchanted' staring Patrick Dempsey? Didn’t think so.

In checking the NL Rookie of the Year votes, it doesn’t look like Tim Lincecum got a single vote. This is a travesty. (The last SF Giant to win the award? John Montefusco, 1975.) Before I expound upon the stupidity of the MLB voters can someone please confirm that Lincecum actually was a rookie this season? Baseball has crazy rules when it comes to what constitutes a rookie season. Anyone? Josh? Ryan?

See, this is why Jericho usually handles the Football Hangover article on Mondays.

Anonymous said...: He is (was) a rookie. There are weird rules that have a certain number of IP or AB that a player can have one year without using up their "rookie" status. This is so that September call ups can get 30 ABs without sacrificing ROY the next year. It also may now be based on "days of service," which comes into play when deciding things like who needs to be on the 40-man roster, etc.

But, bottom line: Lincecum never pitched in MLB before 2007, thus he was definitely a rookie. And I wouldn't have voted for him either, for the record...; November 12, 2007 at 3:45 PM

We are Apples and Moustaches

1. Magglio is the handsome one. Jericho is the angry one.
2. We’re dead on with our Box Office predictions. But we only do those during the summer when there are good movies out. I mean, who gives two shits about ‘27 dresses’. We’re also deadly accurate with our Oscar guesses. A word to the wise; never get into a betting situation with Jericho around Oscar time. Trust me on this.
3. We are West Coast centric. When it’s all said and done we want West Coast sports team to horse fuck East Coast sports teams. It’s just the way it goes. Even if that means rooting for a sissy team like Washington State or the Lakers, we’ll do it. That’s just the kind of guys we are.
4. We post once a day. Sometimes twice a day. And if we’re both too hungover then we’ll just put up pictures of hot chicks to fill the space.
5. Magglio once tried to eat a large Stuffed Crust Pepperoni Pizza from Pizza Hut in one hour. He came up half a piece short. He has no question in his mind if he tried it again he could finish the whole pizza, no problem.
6. Our whole goal is to make each other laugh. That’s it. If you don’t like what you’re reading then fuck off. If you love what you’re reading then spread our link all over the blogosphere so we can quit our stupid day jobs.
7. Magglio loves The Hills, Matt Cain/Tim Lincecum and Soy Lattes. Jericho hates baseball and people who use the word "humorous", loves football, movies and has only 5 friends, admittedly by choice.
8. In their lifetime, Magglio and Jericho have gotten in two sanctioned* fist fights with each other. Each won one of the contests with the loser puking in the back yard.
9. We both support Barrack Obama. However, if John Clayton would have been on the ballot undoubtedly that’s where our vote would have gone.
10. We both consider the NFL Draft Day, our fantasy draft day and the Super Bowl as the greatest days of the year. Without question. Better than our birthdays. And better than Christmas.
*We only had 1 set of gloves but luckily Magglio is a righty and Jericho is a lefty. We also were both wasted when the fights took place. Magglio did knock his ass out though. Bitch.
